Arduino

Yesterday I picked up a nice package from TinyCLR.com. Yes, it is yet another robot (third in fact), but this time it runs .NET! How freaking cool is that! This robot is controlled by FEZ Mini board that runs .NET Micro Framework. What’s interesting is that this board has pin-out compatible with Basic Stamp from Parallax. You can also uses it easily on a breadboard for prototyping (just like Boarduino). TinyCLR.com also offers a larger board called FEZ Domino that has pin-out compatible with Arduino ......

Just after finishing my multicolor RGB controller shield for Arduino, I came across Fritzing, a program that lets you convert your breadboard prototypes into a physical PCB. Since I got one design working at hand, I decided to give it a try. The process is very straightforward. First you simply put all the components in the breadboard view. The parts library contains most common parts, and you use wires to connect them – exactly the same as you would do on your physical prototype: Next you can switch ......
